Posted by Terry Robarge | September 26, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Business

Criminal and civil consultations.

Used Counselor Hassan as a business and personal attorney on criminal and civil law challanges. Outcome each time was quick and successful.

former client

Attorney Hassan genuinely cares about his clients. He is professional and extremely knowledgeable on the law and court procedures. When I was being intimidated by a CWA, he took care of the matter all the while reassuring me. I have worked with attorneys before Mr. Hassan and have found him to... be the only one on which I could rely.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
